This is a list of all known Japanese arcade cabinets, also known as "candy cabinets".
The majority are sitdown cabinets, with the occasional upright (Sega Swing, SNK MV25UP-0) and cocktail (Sega Aero Table). Construction is usually of metal and plastic, with wood also being used in earlier cabinets. Colours tend to be light (normally white) and the cabinets do not allow for custom side art. This is in stark contrast to the American/European style cabinets, which are normally upright, constructed entirely of wood, dark in colour and can be completely customised for the game inside.
These cabinets are found almost exclusively within Japan, and were rarely shipped outside of eastern Asia. As a result none to very little English information is available for the majority, with most being provided by hobbyist or specialist arcade gaming sources
The Konami Windy is a sitdown candy cabinet held in high regard by shoot 'em up players. It's notable for its bright pink artwork, the smallest footprint out of all the 29 in monitor cabinets, and one of the best 15/24 kHz monitors available.
Type: Sitdown

Japanese Name: UINDI
Dimensions: 750 x 905 x 1339 (1699 with marquee) mm
Wiring: JAMMA
Monitor: 29 in, 15/24 kHz
Rotatable: Yes (no rotate mechanism)
Weight: 105 kg
The Windy II updated the original Windy with a colour scheme change (blue), a tri-sync monitor, and with a change of I/O to the new JAMMA Video Standard (JVS). Dimensions and weight remain the same, but unfortunately the design also maintained the easily breakable neck of the original cabinet. Konami included a first party adapter to convert the cabinet to the more common JAMMA standard.

Japanese Name: UINDI II
Dimensions: 750 x 905 x 1339 (1699 with marquee) mm
Wiring: JVS
Monitor: 29 in, 15/24/31 kHz
Rotatable: Yes (no rotate mechanism)
Weight: 105 kg
Notes: Both the Windy cabinets neither have a rotate mechanism nor a monitor frame. As a result of this the monitor is generally kept permanently in either vertical or horizontal orientation. Rotating the monitor requires extreme care – the lack of a frame leaves the fragile neck exposed and easy to snap, rendering the tube useless.
